Studies ongoing to determine what role nutritional intervention has on age-related changes in immune function, in particular chronic inflammation or inflamm-aging.

Studies ongoing to develop the horse as a model system for human aging to further understand age-related changes in the immune response, in particular mechanisms responsible for inflamm-aging, focusing on T-cell membrane rafts.

Identifying biomarkers of aging to better predict the “biological age” of the horse.
